All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Yeah Eb. I'm sure Quinn is telling Darcy to get the wimpiest weakest players that he can.
"But Darcy built the team that went to two conference championships a few years ago!"
Teams that didn't have enough to win in the playoffs because it didn't have enough toughness. In the next two years, besides losing CD and DB, they lost most of the toughness as well.
I would rather have Muckler back. At least he knows what it takes.
Exactly...too many people are giving him too much credit for falling into a team that was perfect for the game after the lockout. That is the #1 arguement and it just doesn't hold water.

He got a free pass by many last year. This year should show that he has not done enough to make the team better.

where did I say that we should keep DR? I said Quinn is the real problem. Soft? Come on. You don't make it to the NHL by being soft. Just because they don't run goalies or cheap shot somebody means something? BS. Score more goals. That is the only stat that counts.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

Soft because they ALLOW the other team to run your goalie and other players without hitting back as much. Soft because when the defensemen on the other teams move the puck, they aren't checked once in a while to get them to think. Soft because when many of our forwards go into a corner, they go in stick first to try to knock the puck away without going in with their whole body and taking a hit to make a play. No, it isn't about cheap shots and running the other goalies, it is about doing what is necessary sometimes to win, and doing it consistently, especially in the playoffs. I don't disagree that Quinn doesn't bear a lot of the responsibility, but Darcy let more players with toughness and "grit" leave than he brought in. Plus, he has been here longer than Quinn.
Let's see...They made the Stanley Cup Finals in 75 and than in 99...99-75=24 years...So being 2009, we are scheduled back in 2023. I hope you guys are really patient.
